Desert Island Discs - Music

Trollheart · 01-03-2007, 22:05

How very original! An idea from at least sixty years ago!
But, it's still valid, soooooooooooooooo.....

You're going to be left on a desert island for years (perhaps forever). Strangely enough, this island has electricty and a working stereo (or maybe just a working USB slot for your iPod/Zen/Whatever.
Anyway
Assuming this, you are allowed to take only twenty albums with you to listen to. In this age of digital downlaods and 80+ GB MP3 players of course, you could bring your whole collection, but let's assume for now that you can, for whatever reason, bring only 20 albums.
Remember, there is no other music (apart from the song of the sea etc) and you're going to have to choose albums that you could listen to over and over again (cos you will), and never get tired of.
Choose wisely.
Mine, for the record (hah!)

Tom Waits --- Rain Dogs
Vangelis --- Oceanic
Travis --- The man who

somebody put a lot of compilations - now I would NEVER have done that!
[some albums are not obviously compils...]

BTW - I can't believe that I didn't include a Queen album - News of the World or Jazz - perhaps swap for The Stranglers.

Uh, why is that cheating, Patrician? 20 albums I said, 20 you've noted....?
